A female student of Dhaka University committed suicide at her residence at Paribagh in the city last night.

Rehnuma Taslim Antu, a student of economics, was found hanging from the ceiling with a scarf in her bedroom at around 10:15pm, her father Aftab Uddin Khan, a retired government official, told reporters.

He said Antu had been very upset for the last few days as she could not obtain first class in her master's examinations.

Aftab Uddin rushed Antu to Dhaka Medical College Hospital but the doctors declared her dead.
